Can you be more specific?
Because I do not understand what you mean by the hard cover.

I had a little difficulty at first but, I've found the easiest way is to simply bend back the top right corner (side where the volume buttons are located) and then work your way down the right hand side. I'm sure you can be fairly rough with it without it breaking.

The Otterbox Commuter consists of 3 layers of protection.
1. Screen Protector
2. Inner Silicon skin with cover 'bumps' for the 3 face buttons and the side buttons (Vol and Camera) and a plug for the headphone jack.
3. A hard plastic shell which slips on around the skin.
All in all pretty complete protection for your phone but does cover the good looks of the phone as well as add considerable bulk.
i literally just pop it up. i pull on the left side of the hard cover a little, then pull the phone away from the hard case. it should slip off just like that.
dont be scur!!! thats why they have warranty.
Anyone have any recommendations?
Check eBay or.amazon for a new one. They are cheap and come in a bundle.

Buy from somewhere else and replace by yourself or take to sony but this will charge you because not cover by warranty.
Only place is Ebay. Takes 21/2 weeks to get.

Weird though, I just called Sony in Canada and they are willing to fix/replace my phone that has screen problems, usb port flap came off and speaker problems.
Why can't you just buy the part and they send it? (U have to send the device for that silly little piece right?)
I'm also interested cos I have the same problem

If you guys find a place where to buy please post it I've been looking for it with lo lockangel:
They're on eBay.
Sony needs to change this design...Or...send a couple extra with the device
Buy a magnetic charging cable! Saves the port! Yes you'll still need to open the port for communication of copying files from PC but it would be substantially less compared to opening the port to charge everyday.

If you don't wonna buy new cup, you can buy cheap glue gun,
then you put some glue on your cup, make the hole a little wet, so your glue want stick.
then wait few secs until glue will become a bit harder and close the cup.
Finally, after it will be hard enough, you can cut with razor glue you don't need.
And yeah, you can always warm up that glue with lighter, if you need to do step 2 again.
Works for me, even tested under water, but not for a long time though :good:

From the link it shows the whole flap (w/ rubber gasket). When you said that it works great, did you replace the entire flap or pull the rubber gasket off of the new one and put it onto your current one?
Thanks,
Gery

you cant replace the rubber gasket....it wont stick. And I tried locktite 401, and it ruined the whole gasket instead of setting it in the right position....perhaps you can do it. But you need a microscope
Thanks! I've found a video on youtube showing how to remove the old one for putting the new one on!

If I'm not wrong the bottom is plastic instead of aluminium,while the side is aluminium.
If you change it you will lost waterproof.
There is only adhesive tape to hold the bottom bezel, no screws. So i thought to heat the adhesive a litle bit and replace it but im not sure if its even possible.

Not so sure,if the factory screen protector is scratched,they will replace,but not sure about the bottom plastic plate.
It is fine if it does not effect the phone and waterproof,mine also got scratch at top but I just leave it there,maybe you can use a case.
They do not replace parts if there is only cosmetic damage. But you can always try to open a ticket and send your device off to repair ..you might be lucky

Still waterproof, this small piece of plastics doesnt affect it.
I am considering the z3, but all cases are so ugly with all those openings. Anyone know of cases that only have openings for charging, power and volume? We shouldnt need to open the SD card or power charger all the time, right?

Just go on ebay. I bought one for £2.99 in the uk, which was nice and rubberised, with openings for camera key, volume, power, charging and magnetic dock. It's slim, black, but doesn't completely cover the phone. It's nice enough.

Nice that sounds like what I'm looking for. Do you have a link?
The Case Mate Tough for the Z3 only has openeings for the micro USB port, magnetic charging and wrist-holder thing (I think).
It uses it's own buttons for the power, volume and camera, and doesn't expose the flaps on the right side at all.
root setting
does anyone know a case that has no cutouts apart from magnetic charger port
This happened to me twice i think you buy Z3 cover
I used my dremel to solve this
You should to buy Z3 Dual cover and make sure that really compatible with it ?

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/SLIM-CASE-F...HELL-BUMPER-/281587294850?nav=WATCHING_ACTIVE
Openings for power, volume and camera buttons on the right, and the power flap, magnetic port and lanyard on the right. It does pry up a screen protector if you have one, though.

Does that one have edges which range slightly over the screen to protect the phone from falls on flat surfaces?
Roxfit all the way for me. Had mine for a year and is the best durable slimcase. Just ordered the new model with softgel edges that covers most.

Remains to see as i ordered it yesterday . I use the old model now and you need to have the flap open to connect it
Can you put a link mate? Is it white or black? I see that you have a white Z3, I also have the white version and I don't like the look of black cases on it.

Thanks a bunch! Is that a hard or soft shell? And do you have an additional screen protector on it?
Does anyone know how the sliding system will cope with the protection covers and tpu bumpers?
Just got my mix 3, China version. Looks like the cases and bumpers could fit snugly around the top and both sides. On the bottom the front facing third is sorta notched so the face can slide down. At least that's what it looks like to me...
See case bump out on my mi mix 3
<just noticed the original upload failed...reupping photos of included case. You will notice the case does not cover the bottom completly, just enough for the slider to move.>

I don't think I got a case that shipped with mine. . .unless I did lift up something to find it. I know there's the wired and wireless charger in there. But I didn't see any case

The bottom part is actually part of a larger piece of plastic that surrounds the entire phone, top and bottom. This piece slides within the bottom case.
There are even more variants available:

Is your case aluminium or TPU?, Someone in another thread has said they have problems with GPS when they have the case on, could be 2 different cases obviously but

I juste recevied mine.
The case is beautiful but not so skinny and very slippery! If my wireless charger is not perfectly horizontal, the phone go away...
For now, the best i tried is Nillkin.

Wireless charging works with this case? & Nillkin doesn't provide protection for the bottom of the screen, otherwise I'd definitely go with Nillkin
Yes it work. The nillikin don't protect the bottom but it falls 5time less. My mix3 hit the ground 4times today.
